Questions families ask

Does home care cost less than assisted living in the Twin Cities?

It depends heavily on how many hours of care are needed — a verified current Minnesota non-medical home care hourly rate could not be confirmed against a primary source, but 24/7 in-home care, once multiple caregiver shifts are factored in, is typically far more expensive than a private-pay assisted living apartment, even though a few hours a week of home care is usually cheaper than a full move.

What is Housing Support and how does it help with assisted living costs?

Housing Support (formerly Group Residential Housing) is a narrower Minnesota state supplement, separate from the Elderly Waiver, that can help very-low-income residents in certain licensed settings offset room-and-board costs — something the Elderly Waiver itself is not permitted to pay for.

What does the Minnesota long-term care ombudsman do?

The Minnesota Office of Ombudsman for Long-Term Care (OOLTC), part of the Minnesota Board on Aging, investigates and helps resolve complaints for residents of nursing homes, assisted living facilities (including memory care), and board-and-lodging settings statewide, and advocates for residents' rights. Reach OOLTC at 1-800-657-3591 or 651-431-2555.
